So these tuner/capture cards were designed to only work with signals that did not need a decryption phase. The same thing happened with DTH satellite services.Ĭable and Satellite piracy often involved hacking the smart cards program to tell the decoder that everything was free, or unlimited PPV, or something that basically took advantage of that fact. The signal itself was still there, but the box just didn't let you watch it.

After the move to digital cable, cable boxes became required, and individual cable channels could be turned on or off by the cable company to you individually.

Yet, the channels you were supposed to pay more for, were typically an additional cost. So you needed that extra box (or a VCR that supported it) to get any channel over 6. Typically without a cable descrambler (yes an old term for it) most old TV's could only tune channel 2-6 anyway. Analog SDTV tuners could not pick up scrambled channels on cable, and all channels on analog cable were scrambled or filtered out other than those in the VHF (2-6*) range. So they went away because there is no demand, and the existing cable cartel structure always made it impossible to use anyway. Even then you're lucky if you can pick up one or two ATSC channels. Cable services in the US require a card, cable services in Canada and the US run fully encrypted, and satellite services run fully encrypted, and there is no domestic in-the-clear channels unless you live within a mile of the transmitter in a large city. Take note of that picture, there's no slot for a smart card.Īs it stands now, there is no way of connecting any kind of tuner device to computer. They also required smart cards to operate. Digital satellite on Ku-band required a much smaller dish, but since they were all specific to one vendor, you couldn't switch. North America only has clear channels on C-Band, which required a 15' satellite dish. (DVB-T/DVB-S) Because in Euro areas, DVB-S was actually the satellite standard, where as in North America, it was again, competing proprietary standards. In areas that have DTH (Digital satellite) services, those required expensive tuner boxes, not unlike cable boxes, and the device you've linked to there is actually one of those.

It also didn't help that Windows XP MCE didn't support it in later versions. The last tuner device I had, in 2004, could only receive in-the-clear cable/antenna, which meant no ability to receive anything. In the US (and the US alone) cable card was mandated, thus making it impossible to produce a tuner in any shape to accept domestic cable services.

What happened was that Analog TV was phased out.

So what happened to PC TV cards? why did they die?

I remember that back in 2007~2011 PC TV Cards EXPLODED in popularity (in Egypt) and everybody had them for their PCs to be able to run TV on their PCs, then PC TV cards started falling in popularity till they died in 2015, My question is, why are PC TV Cards dead now? the PC TV cards that are still being sold are REALLY expensive for what they are because they're now rare, And for people that don't know what PC TV Cards are, they are pretty much cards that go in PCI or AGP slots which then you connect to your satellite dish's cable then install a special type of program that uses the card to make you able to watch TV on your PC (e.g: Ulead TVR) turbocharged, supercharged and electrified.
